hello all. I am deciding by going to colonia and back as fast as possible. I have a ship with 45 ly jump range, so how much time it takes to go there and back without scans on the way? ( I am a very good fuel scooper)
FIRST GOING TO COLONIA
- Thread starter CMDR KRITIKOSK8
- Start date
The record - with neutron jumps - is 1hr 47 minutes one way, but that was in a 70+ LY ship.
So, you're going both ways, in a 45 LY ship ... maybe 6-8 hours?

With your jump range you're looking at something over 500 jumps. (without using boosts)
So find out how long it takes you from starting one jump to starting the next one (it will be something between 30s and a minute) and do the maths.
Add some exploring of interesting things you're going to find, and you're looking at something between 8 hours and two weeks.

I normally do it in legs with lots of scanning, but let's see.
22,000/45 = 489, but you won't get quite that optimal so you're probably looking at over 500 jumps. At a minute each, that's over 8 hours, but if you're a fast scooper and not scanning things and just rushing the whole way, maybe you can half that, so 4-5 hours one way. Which is what I've been told by people that have rushed it. Using the neutron highway you might be able to do better... if you're good with scooping neutrons. Otherwise, you might not be able to do significantly better at all (while taking on a bunch of risk)... you also need to factor in engine repairs, but that also has the benefit of giving you something to do if you need to take breaks.

Less than 2h??? Whoa thats incredible, I`m in 60 ly ship and trying to boost with neuts - still feels like a snail.
I remember chatting with Alex, one such day, while engineering my ship. In the time that took me to engineer two railguns and a booster, he moved over 10kLY on the map. If I didn't see it I wouldn't believe it.
Thank you all I'm deciding on going there this week or not. Now I have some knowledge about the time needed
